But the scenarios are totally different. He should have kicked last night. No doubt.

 

I don't necessarily mind going for it on 4th down there in OT, but throwing the ball on 3rd down on their last offensive drive of the 4th quarter was inexcusable. Russ was playing terribly and there was no reason to think Matt Ryan could will his offense into the end zone. In that situation you run the ball on 3rd down to play it safe, then kick the FG to go up by 6 points. That would have just about ended the game.

I think both were bad calls.

Yep. They will fire Hackett (and rightly so) but unless Russ plays better it won't matter. I suspect Hackett fired after this season. Russ cut after two more. 


I don’t think they can cut Russ in two years.  The dead cap will still be immense.

The personal attacks on Russ are weird, not gonna lie. 
 

He looks washed.  It is what it is.  This is some weird energy from certain people. 

 

Are they?  All of the people he has played with throughout his entire career basically dislike him to literally hate him.  Going back to college. That's hard to do as a "star" QB. Cutler was probably second on that type of list but even he had teammates like Brandon Marshall who loved him.  Wilson doesn't.  Someone should at least be coming to his defense...nope. Doug Baldwin was his main WR for many years...nope. They pile on if anything.

 

Richard Sherman on the Amazon post game show was literally giddy he could trash Wilson...almost like he couldn't contain his happiness about it...like a little kid waiting in line to see Santa Claus at the mall.

 

Basically this is why in a nutshell. He is a "F***ing Poser!" as they'd say in Canada.

RG3 remains delusional.  Congrats on being the second best QB of the 2012 draft class...that was selected by the Redskins.

 

He does have his "rushed for more yards than LeSean McCoy in that one game that one time" ring.  Cant take that away

It's like the Dolphins Week 3 victory banner. Can't take it away.

Agree lots on Wilson after watching this video.

This guy argues that Russ ran the same offense in Seattle through 3 OCs.

Among quarterbacks who started at least 10 games in 2021, Wilson ranked fifth in the league in passer rating. Outside of a slump and injury he started & ended 21 strong. NFL.com rankings had him at 11 overall.

More proof passer ratings are as worthless as yesterday's toilet paper.

In the running for one of the worst games ever played- under perfect weather conditions!

 

Absolutely putrid were both teams!

 

Wilson grabbed Fort Knox and ran… at top speed to total mediocrity.

 

Disgraceful!

Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone

Todd Collins led Bills beat Jim Harbaugh led Colts 9-6 on MNF in 1997.

In 2 years, the Colts will be ready to trade for him.

So you’re betting Russel’s knees, arm and nerves are going to be diminished so badly that he can finally qualify to be the qb for the newest colt’s coaching hire?

Concussion protocols didn't start until 2011. Back in 1997 you just rubbed some dirt on it and "shook it off". 

I know that, just kidding around.  Its incredible to see guys just out cold on the field coming back into the game a few plays later given the focus on concussions now.  Collins took a brutal shot in that one.

What a terrible game of football. At least for me the streaming quality on the Amazon app was very high quality for the second week in a row. Amazon did a good job putting together their commentary crew as well. Like Fitz and Sherman a lot. Always thought Michaels does a good job calling games as well. They must have paid a lot to get him to come over.

That was so.......... meh.

 

Tossed the remote back to my wife and said you can watch whatever else you want midway through the 2nd qtr.

 

Checked back later on that snoozer, only to see the glacial effort was into OT.

 

Just really bad football. Felt like a low-scoring preseason game with crappy backup QBs.

Just looking at the Thursday night games moving forward:

13/10/22: Commanders at Bears

20/10/22: Saints at Cardinals

27/10/22: Ravens at Buccaneers

03/11/22: Eagles at Texans

10/11/22: Falcons at Panthers

17/11/22: Titans at Packers

24/11/22: Patriots at Vikings (do they have the Thanksgiving evening game?)

01/12/22: Bills at Patriots

08/12/22: Raiders at Rams

15/12/22: 49ers at Seahawks

22/12/22: Jaguars at Jets

29/12/22: Cowboys at Titans

 

Not the best of match ups, to be honest. Some of them might be half decent, but they're more in the latter half of the run. Any game would have to go some way to out-bore yesterday's game, though.

No direspect but you seriously overestimated TBD - we need an American mm/dd/yy format converter now

If you like X's and O's, check out this rapid turn-around QB Confidential by Kurt Warner. 

 

He breaks down some of the problems with the Broncos passing game last night.  

Spoiler: many of them are Wilson missing throws, but not all.

 

[I found Warner very easy to follow on this episode, he diagrammed the routes and the QB's reads - very clear]

Hackett’s clock management, including use of timeouts, leaves a ton to be desired for sure. But the lion’s share of the blame for Denver’s problems rest with Russell Wilson. Hackett has been scheming guys open all season, but Wilson either can’t find them or misses them when he does. It’s been apparent in every game this season.
